APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

Methods of Application

Alto 100SL Fungicide may be applied via ground, by air, or chemigation depending on the crop. Refer to Section 7.0 for crop-specific instructions.

Application Equipment

Alto 100SL Fungicide may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for making ground and aerial applications. Do not apply Alto 100SL Fungicide through any type of ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system. Proper adjustments and calibration of spraying equipment to give good canopy penetration and coverage is essential for good disease control.

NOZZLES

• Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide an accurate and uniform application.
• Be certain that nozzles are the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom.
• Calibrate sprayer before use.
• Although Alto 100SL Fungicide is a soluble concentrate, it is suggested that screens be used to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging.
• Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh or coarser.
• Do not place a screen in the recirculation line.
• Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and were required at the nozzles.
• Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations.

PUMP

• Use a pump with capacity to:
  • Maintain at least 35 - 40 psi at nozzles.
  • Provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep the mixture in suspension (this requires recirculation of 10% of tank volume per minute).
• Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation.
• Do not air sparge.

For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturers and state recommendations. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state and local agricultural recommendations.

Application Volume and Spray Coverage

Apply Alto 100SL Fungicide in a minimum spray volume of 10 gallons per acre for ground application, and 2 gallons per acre for aerial application. Use sufficient water for adequate coverage and canopy penetration.
